I don't think dystocia can be used as an accurate example, given an obstetric labour complication always implies a dystocic birth, by definition. An obstetric labour complication is a reason why there is a dystocic birth, not the other way around. In fact, it could even be argued that this article should be merged with the Dystocia or Childbirth article. Otherwise, a more accurate choice could be malpresentation.
